Responsibilities
Test Planning & Execution
  • Define, document, and execute automated and manual test plans, procedures, and scripts to validate Ravenstar RF, EW, and communications systems against system and customer requirements.
  • Develop and refine system-level and subsystem-level test strategies informed by operational use cases, performance requirements, and integration constraints.
  • Prepare test setups, fixtures, instrumentation, and support equipment to ensure accurate, repeatable, and defensible data collection in laboratory and field environments.
  • Execute test activities in accordance with approved test plans, including real-time monitoring of system performance and identification of anomalies.

Key Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related technical field with 5+ years of relevant experience, or a Master's degree with 2+ years of experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • Demonstrated experience developing and executing test plans, procedures, and reports for complex systems.
  • Experience testing RF, EW, or communications systems in laboratory and/or field environments.
  • Radar or electronic warfare (EW) subsystem design and/or test experience, with the ability to translate subsystem performance requirements into executable test approaches.
  • Hands-on experience working in an anechoic chamber, including setup, execution, and debugging of custom RF or electronic hardware.
  • Familiarity with modeling and simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB or similar) used to support test planning or data analysis.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret complex technical data and identify system-level issues.
  • Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications
